context_page_description: Dióscoro Teófilo Puebla Tolín was a Spanish painter in the Eclectic style who specialized in portraits, genre and history painting.
context_section_description: Upon returning to Spain in 1863, he was named Professor of Color and Composition at the Real Academia Provincial de Bellas Artes de Cádiz, but served for only a short time before he was given a Royal Appointment to the Academy of San Fernando and took his place there in 1865.
  On several occasions over the next twenty-five years, he sat on juries created by the Ministry of State to evaluate candidates for positions at the new "Academia Española de Bellas Artes de Roma". In 1869, he was named an officer in the Order of Isabella the Catholic and Order of Charles III. He also exhibited widely, participating in the Weltausstellung 1873 Wien and the Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia, among others. 
  In 1882, he was chosen to be an "Academician" by his peers at San Fernando and, in 1897, he became the Director of the "School of Drawing, Painting and Engraving", succeeding Luis de Madrazo. He died in Madrid, aged 70.
  Although his historical paintings were a relatively small portion of his output, they remain his best-known works. Many of his portraits are displayed in the Congress of Deputies in Spain, including those of Nicomedes Pastor Díaz and Pedro José Pidal.
